Psychodynamic Therapy Techniques

A Guide to Expressive and Supportive Interventions

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Therapists help their patients improve through a combination of words and a therapeutic relationship. To do this effectively, practitioners need to know not only what to intervene on (i.e., how to identify and understand clinical problems) but also how to intervene (viz., what techniques to use). This book teaches therapists how to develop and use the many techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Along with providing step-by-step instructions for techniques, it also describes the characteristics of "good" interventions and provides tips for assessing their effectiveness.
